A high-tech education. At MCoOL, students learn the technology skills needed to succeed in the real world. Our high-tech learning environment makes it easy to access online courses day or night. Students receive immediate feedback, can view corrected assignments, and communicate with teachers and classmates wherever they are.
Just as important, MCoOL students get to complete assignments at their own pace. This includes focusing on subjects that are more difficult, or speeding ahead in subjects that are easier. Plus, students get to interact with other students from around the state who share the same passion for this kind of unique and individual education.
Through one-on-one or group interactive learning activities, our online discussion boards and secure online commons, students benefit from unlimited opportunities to meet with peers and instructors. In turn, they learn more.
It's high-touch. by combining teacher-led courses, individual instruction, and continuous personal guidance, we offer an in-depth educational experience that is personalized to meet your individual needs.
Our dedicated instructors are never more than an email or phone call away. They communicate extensively with students, always answering questions within 24 hours, and even hold regular "office" hours. Experienced counselors are also on hand to track academic progress, help design an effective study program, or advise how to best prepare for college entrance exams. If students experience difficulties in their coursework, our Student Admissions Team (SAT) is available to offer extra help.
At MCoOL, our accredited faculty is comprised of experienced administrators, counselors, and state-certified online teachers with the ability to inspire, engage, and explain. They're dedicated to helping students realize their full academic potential.
Our teachers regularly meet with students in "live" classrooms using Elluminate whiteboard software. This technology enables them to provide excellent instruction in an environment that mirrors a real classroom setting--where students can listen to lessons, ask and answer questions, and visit with classmates before and after class. Other activities, such as field trips and outings, are scheduled throughout the school year, giving students the chance to meet and interact face-to-face.
For parents, monitoring student performance is easy. By using an assigned personal login, parents can conveniently enter our Parent Portal to view their child's class schedule, assignment due dates, and report cards.
